A TOAST TO BERNIE SANDERS

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is a socialist, an authentic radical leftist, the real thing, a self-declared independent socialist. Senator Sanders announced on April 30 that he is running for President. We should all celebrate.

The political beliefs of Bernie Sanders are hard to distinguish from those of President Obama and the rest of today’s Democratic Party. Compare them on taxes, re-distribution, deficit spending, economics in general, and foreign policy. The wonderful thing about the candidacy of Senator Sanders, his gift to America, is that it will shift to the Democrats the impossible burden of trying to prove that their agenda under President Obama differs materially from textbook socialism. For trying to make the case that there is little daylight between socialism and the Obama agenda, that comprehensive regulatory control over the private sector is the practical equivalent of ownership of the means of production, Republicans have been hooted off the stage, mocked, called radical right-wing nut jobs, for 6 years. But now, good old Bernie Sanders, the earnest and honest weirdo from America’s radical East Coast, can do what the Republicans could not.

One thought on “A TOAST TO BERNIE SANDERS”

Being a part time resident of Connecticut, I point out with some reluctance that Bernie Sanders, the designated driver of the Democrat presidential nominees’ clown car, is elected by the State of Vermont to the U. S. Senate. Bad as Sens. Blumenthal (who famously forgot that he hadn’t served in Vietnam) and Murphy (by comparison, a minor league wealth redistribution) are, they lag Sen. Sanders in outrageous shifts to the far left.
